Been busy, busy - it’s the 2nd week in on my weekly update and already late and didn’t document much of it. Oops!

October 15: I did manage to go to the Craft and Folk Art Museum on Sunday and it was a pay what you can day as opposed to the normal $7 admission. I guess the whole museum consists of one main exhibition that changes every so often, this time it was art regarding The U.S.-Mexico Border: Place, Imagination, and Possibility.

The museum had some interesting and thought-provoking pieces, one of my favorites being Cartonlandia by Ana Serrano which was a sculptural collage created from recycled materials including postcards and cereal boxes to illustrate the slums scattered around Latin America.

This is a very small museum with only a couple floors and while I think supporting art is important, I’d probably recommend going on a Sunday where you pay what you can - as there are a few other free museums with the same amount of pieces available. But you can decide for yourself as you can see below some of my favorite pieces that I saw there.

After the museum I went for a walk around the neighborhood and captured some shapes and street art that caught my eye as I went by.

I'm so excited to share some new additions to my shop! Combining my fascination with astronomy and astrology with my need to be more "hands on" with my projects - I created these hand embellished crystal constellation astrology birthday cards! Star constellation front with a fitting astrology personality trait inside.

Check em out here! I also have the other star signs available if interested - just message me!

What a simple, yet pretty idea from fellow fellow - using pictures of houses or castles and turning them into little "light house" lanterns. You could create a whole "town" of these! See the full tutorial here.
